Very painful lnode in front of upper forward thigh. feels as if someone is taking a screwdriver to the spot and leaning all their weight on it. cause?

Dr. John Chiu answered

See doctor: Since you have some many other problems, consulting a doctor would be a prudent step. The first thing that came to mind would be the presence of a sexually transmitted disease but there are many other potential reasons for the painful node at the groin area.
